Google Fax Over Internet
It is now possible to send a fax via Google by using the Google Fax Over Internet system.
Sending documents by fax is still popular with some companies, however many small businesses do not have their own fax machine, and do not have the time to track down publicly available ones.
Plus there is the concern that some documents which need to be faxed are confidential, and using a public machine may not be secure.
The Google Fax system allows both commercial organizations and private individuals to benefit from the convenience of a fax without the expense of owning their own fax machine.
The system is simple to operate, easy to set up and can be used to both send an email to a fax machine and a fax to an email address.
The starting point is to set up a Gmail account. Gmail is Google's own email system and setting up an account is free and straight forward.
The fax system works by utilizing technology to forward emails to a fax machine. Next, set up an account with an online fax company who will handle translating faxes into emails and vice versa.
There are several companies on the market who offer this service and once signed up full instructions on how to use the service will be made available.
Being able to send an email as a fax, or have a fax sent to an email address removes one of the great communication barriers which existed between businesses.
Receiving a fax as an email gives the user the option of whether they want to print the information out or keep it on their system.
This cuts down the amount of paper in use which over time could not only provide cost savings for a company, but is also kind to the environment.
